This occurred during a rescue operation for a teenager who is feared to have drowned after falling into a mining pond on Wednesday (Oct 3). The divers were caught in a strong “whirlpool” during the operation in Puchong, a town on the outskirts of Kuala Lumpur. It was drizzling when the divers went into the pond at 2115 hours to rescue the 17- year-old boy. The team had followed standard operating procedures in donning complete diving equipment and were tied to a single rope.

The divers struggled in the water for about 30 minutes while other fire rescue members tried to rescue them. All of them were unconscious when they were eventually pulled out of the water. All life saving measures were attempted, but unsuccessful. Here’s What Happened to 6 Firemen Who Drowned While Finding Missing Teen in Puchong https://www.worldofbuzz.com/heres-what-happened-to-6-firemen-who-drowned-while-finding- missing-teen-in-puchong/ October 4, 2018 By Ling Kwan On the night of 3 October, the nation was shocked by news of six firemen who drowned while carrying out a search and rescue operation. This heartbreaking incident took place at a mining pond in Taman Putra Perdana, Puchong. According to NST and Harian Metro, the operation was to search for a 17-year-old teenager, Mohd Ilham Fahmy who was believed to have slipped and fallen into the mining pond in the evening. It was understood that the teen had gone there with his two friends for fishing activities. The local residents quickly alerted the Fire and Rescue Department when they learnt about the mishap. Six firemen from the Water Rescue Unit then dived into the water to look for the victim shortly after. Five minutes into the operation, the current suddenly surged and all the divers were entangled by their safety ropes, which were believed to have caused their diving equipment to come off.

The first diver was only pulled out after 30 minutes. “When they were brought out (of the water), all six of them were unconscious. The paramedics at the scene performed CPR for 30 minutes but none of the victims gave any response and they were pronounced dead later,” Abdul Aziz said. The fallen firemen are: Mohd Fatah Hashim, 34 Izatul Akma Wan Ibrahim, 32 Mazlan Omarbaki, 25 Yahya Ali, 24 Adnan Othman, 33 Muhammad Hifdzul Malik Shaari, 25 The bodies have been sent to Serdang Hospital for post-mortem. This news also shocked the missing teenager’s father, Mohd Azzam Naim who didn’t expect the tragedy to take a turn for the worse. It was learnt that he had advised his son not to go there anymore especially after two men had drowned two months ago while fishing there. Moreover, it’s rainy season now and strong current is expected. Sadly, the teen didn’t take his father’s advice seriously.

Our thoughts and prayers go to the family of the deceased and we salute the unsung heroes for their service and dedication. RIP.

She then broke down and declined to say more. The wife of Izatul Akma said she was informed of her husband's death when the department's personnel visited her home at around midnight. "I thought my husband was involved in an accident, instead he had drowned. It seemed like I was in a dream. I saw him early yesterday morning before he left for work," said Rosmaria Abdul Ramli, 32. Officials drape flags on the coffins of the divers before the funeral prayer session.

RAHIM, WAN ZUHAIRI WAN YAACOB & ABDUL GHANI RAFEK Geology Program, School of Environment & Natural Resources Sciences, Faculty of Science & Technology, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, 43600 Bangi, Selangor Abstract: Heavy metals namely Cu, Cr, Ni, Zn, Pb, and Co in soil horizons beneath the Ampar Tenang municipal open-tipping site have been extensively investigated through examination of twenty one representative triplicate soil samples that were collected from nine auger holes distributed in three locations within the study area. These include upstream (ATU), downstream (ATD), and soil- waste interface (ATI). Results obtained for ATI revealed considerably higher concentration levels of most of the elements analyzed compared to ATD and ATU. Moreover, Cr, Zn and Pb had shown higher levels of concentration amongst all examined metals. It was found that in most cases, the heavy metal concentration was generally high at the surface and downwards up to 60 cm depth, then decreased relatively with increasing depth. It was shown that, in addition to the vertical infiltration of leachate from the solid waste, the hydrological regime of groundwater has also a strong impact on the contaminants distribution in soils below the site.

    CHAPTER 6 LANDUSE MASTERPLAN STUDY 6.0 LAND-USE MASTERPLAN STUDY 6.1 INTRODUCTION 6.1.1 The Putrajaya Lake system is a man-made system. For it to perform as envisaged there is a need to develop an integrated land-use masterplan for the catchment, based on an adequate understanding of the natural system supporting it. 6.1.2 To develop the masterplan there is a need to review the existing land-use policies and land-use situation in the catchment. Based on the review and the land-use controls, recommended by the various specialists in the study team to ensure the success and sustainability of the Lake, an integrated land-use masterplan can then be develop to guide the future development in the catchment. 6.2 REVIEW OF LAND-USE POLICIES AND GUIDELINES 6.2.1 The Structure Plans 6.2.1.1 The current land-use policy in the catchment is governed by two district Structure Plans. They are: • The Structure Plan for Putrajaya and part of Sepang District • The Structure Plan for Petaling District and part of Klang District 6.2.1.2 The Structure Plan for Putrajaya and part of Sepang District has defined a set of policies for the planning and development of Putrajaya.
